		Their collaboration with the school and Hackney Wick Public Art Programme has sought not only to improve the physical appearance of the playground, but also to affect a change in the role and culture of play within the school.
		These projects were delivered under the management of the London Borough of Hackney and were commissioned on behalf of the Hackney Wick SRB Partnership by Renaisi, an independent not for profit organisation specialising in the design and implementation of regeneration strategies and programmes.
		Although Hackney Wick Public Art Programme has been the effective commissioner of the project and handled all professional fees and contracts, the school/Local Education Authority became the client at the point of commissioning the construction work as the NOF monies were paid directly to the school.

		Hackney Wick lies between the Eastway A106, the Grand Union Canal, and the River Lea.
		In the economic anarchy of The Wick (with a brisk trade in mobile phone unlocking, it's an anarchy that sometimes borders on the illegal), everything has a certain value, even if that value is endlessly fugitive and fickle.
		Hackney has long provided a refuge for immigrants and asylum seekers from all over the world, and nowhere is the area's cultural richness reflected more clearly than at The Wick, with its endlessly diverse traders and buyers - English, African, Albanian, Romanian, Bengali, Bangladeshi, Polish, Somali, Turkish, Jewish and Vietnamese among them.

	Stephen Gill - Hackney Wick
		Camille de Toledo writes "We need a new romance with our eyes open, we need to disregard cynicism against our helpfulness in modern society." This is may well be the idea also to be found in Stephen Gill's new book, that is approbiately selfpublished, published by Nobody, in the Archive of modern Conflict.
		The pictures, having been taken at Hackney Wick flea market outside of London, elicit this friendly irony, this romance in places where nobody would seek it, in places of conflict and neglect.
		"Hackney Wick is a bleak and desolate place which fifteen years ago boasted a speedway track and greyhound stadium and has new aspirations as a site of the 2012 Olympic Games.

	HACKNEY WICK market London United Kingdom photographies by Mimi` Mollica
		Hackney Wick is located in East London, where most of the new immigrants have established themselves in the last decade or so.
		Clothes beside food, household goods together with sofas and tables, screws and CDs, plants and computers, old stuffand new inventions, everyone is open for a deal from six o'clock in the morning untill the sun goes down.
		The unusual and rather abstract location of Hackney Wick deprives the market of the distinguishing marks of London, so it becomes a world on its own with its diversities of language, cultures, and values.
